Gun March Coming to DC Because: Tyranny!

It just keeps rolling in. If you'd never been to this blog before, you'd think I was a gun control activist, but no. It's just that the news cycle is top-heavy with gun nutters these days. And I find myself on the--I don't know, sane?--side of the issue.

I hardly know where to start with this bizarre, deliberately provocative, paranoid, batshit event, but I'll make two observations:

1) The group and the leader of this event illustrate no evidence of this "tyranny" they're railing against. But how are we to discern from their actions and words that they are patriots rather than traitors? And how would the authorities make that decision?

2) What would this group's reaction be if an identical protest were taken up by a group of militant, fundamentalist Muslims? And I'm not talking about the white, Russian type, but the full-on, Middle-Eastern, turbaned and bearded variety. I have a funny feeling that Adam Kokesh and his lunatic band of idiots would have a brand new definition of the 2nd amendment, and who it applies to. Don't you?

[ExcerptFomenting Rebellion In An Armed March On Washington

". . .This is an act of civil disobedience, not a permitted event. We
will march with rifles loaded & slung across our backs to put the
government on notice that we will not be intimidated & cower in
submission to tyranny. We are marching to mark the high water mark of
government & to turn the tide. This will be a non-violent event, unless the government chooses to make it violent. . ."
